Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?
I think the word is ‘genius loser’ because he did manage to fool half the planet for a while there. I pay to learn how to play the media like that. He was onto something sinister maybe and glad it didn’t last.
Hope neuralink turns out to be actually valuable and he doesn’t fuck it up alongwith his X
"Prince Alwaleed bin Talal agreed to roll over $1.9 billion worth of Twitter shares through his Kingdom Holding Company to Musk’s new private company, making him the second largest investor in Twitter. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, owns nearly 17% of Kingdom Holding, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, Qatar contributed $375 million for the financing of Musk’s Twitter purchase."

One Saudi holding (95% owned by a single dude) owns about 4%, so no, there isn’t some nefarious Saudi plot here, Musk is just a fuck up.
More likely he wants it dead personally

I wonder if they’re happy with how their investment is going?
According to Forbes Alwaleed owned 95% of Kingdom Holding, but maybe that’s changed.
Lol seriously doubt it
